NBA’s aging star system

Brunson caught the Suns off guard at the beginning. When he returned to defense, Su Tian took the initiative to find Brunson and give him a high-five to celebrate.

In fact, the opening fast play was not the Lakers' tactical arrangement, but Brunson's own personal behavior. Although it was separated from the tactics, as long as he scored, it was a good goal.

Brunson also has a strong ability to seize opportunities. He spotted the Suns' slack at the beginning and took the opportunity to score.

At this time, the ball was given to the Suns, and Paul advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Brunson's fast play just now made Paul feel that he was very humiliated, so he reached out and called his teammates to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, hoping to return the favor.

Ayton followed Paul's instructions and stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll, and Paul used the pick-and-roll to break through with the ball.

Although Paul's breakthrough speed is not very fast, Paul's breakthrough rhythm is good, and Brunson still cannot stop him.

Paul carried the ball all the way to the basket, and naturally encountered thick eyebrows to help defend and double-team him.

Just when Paul was about to fall into a double-team, Paul passed the ball to Ayton who was following behind him.

Ayton faced an empty layup and made a layup.

Bang——shua——

The basketball bounced on the rim and fell into the net.

"Ayton, you can just dunk it!" Paul shouted towards Ayton.

But Ayton on the side did not respond, just nodded and turned back to defend.

2-2

"As expected of a veteran, Chris Paul responded in his own way." Kenny Smith said.

"Yes, players like Chris Paul may not seem to have flashy statistics, but they actually control the organization of the team and are the indispensable soul of the team." Barkley agreed.

The ball was transferred. This time Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Booker's defense, and there were waves of shouts from the scene.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

Su Tian was not disturbed by these shouts, but first threatened and tested three times, and then broke through from the left with an explosion.

Booker misjudged and thought Su Tian was going to break through from the right, so he was instantly thrown away by two steps.

By the time Booker turned around to pursue, Su Tian had already stopped one step inside the free throw line and made a jump shot.

Swah——

Basketball hits steadily.

4-2

"Su is still so stable, and external interference seems to be of no use to him." Buckley said with emotion.

It was normal for Su Tian to succeed in a single against Booker. No one found anything strange, but Monty on the sidelines was very angry.

Because according to Monty's idea, the Suns' defense against Su Tian has not yet been fully launched!

According to Su Tian's arrangement, the forwards should have assisted in defense, but just now the Suns' forwards didn't react!

At this time, the ball was once again given to the Suns. This time, after Paul came to the frontcourt with the ball, he still stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to play tactics.

Booker ran back and forth around half the court, trying to get rid of Su Tian who was chasing him.

But at this time, Su Tian was full of energy and focused enough. It was really difficult to get rid of Su Tian.

In the end, Bridges got an opportunity. Paul quickly passed the ball to Bridges, and Bridges took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

Bridges had good luck and hit a three-pointer.

4-5

"This Bridges is really good, especially in this critical period, it is really rare for Bridges to contribute precious scoring opportunities." Kenny Smith said with emotion.

"But then again, why does it feel like Booker has been invisible in this series? What on earth is Booker doing?" Barkley asked.

"Booker? He is still trying to escape from Su's pursuit. This kid must have suffered a lot in this series." Kenny Smith shook his head and said.

The game on the court was still going on at this time. Although Bridges hit a three-pointer, Brunson received a pass from Su Tian and reached two plus one under the basket.

The two teams refused to give in to each other and maintained a high level of quality.

Halfway through the first quarter, the point difference between the two teams was actually not big. The Lakers only led by 3 points, but something changed in the second half.

In the second half, Nong Mei and Su Tian increased the proportion of personal attacks, and most of them were attacks under the basket.

This directly hit the Suns' weaknesses and pain points, and the point difference between the two teams began to gradually widen.

Soon half the quarter passed and the first quarter was over. The Lakers already led 31-22 by 9 points.

Looking at the score on the court, Paul and Booker fell into deep thought.

"Chris, do you think we still have a chance?" Booker asked softly.

"Maybe, but it's definitely going to be tough," Paul said.

The score in a single quarter reached nearly double digits, which was undoubtedly very dangerous for the Suns, but the Lakers did not relax their vigilance because of this.

"Guys, we can't let down our guard in the second quarter. The Suns' counterattack will come at any time. George, you have to take responsibility for this period. Of course, if the situation goes wrong, I will immediately call a timeout and replace Su." Walton said.

George on the side heard this and responded directly: "Don't worry, coach, as long as I'm here, just let Su have a good rest off the court."

Soon the second quarter started.

On the Lakers side, Su Tian and Nongmei rested off the court, while George led the team on the court. The Suns also made adjustments, with Booker leading Paul to rest.

"Although everyone still agrees with Booker's offense, it is not an option to always avoid Su like this." Kenny Smith said.

"Booker is still very young, and he still has a lot of room for advancement. As long as he continues to improve, his future is still very bright," Barkley said.

"But Su is also very young."

"This, indeed, can only be said to be at the same time as Su, which is both lucky and sad."

At the beginning of the second quarter, Booker showed why he is favored by so many people.

Nunn had worked very hard to defend, but he still couldn't stop Booker's shot. Booker even hit a three-pointer while drifting in the air, but it was all done against Nunn's defense.

Under Booker's brilliant performance, the atmosphere at the scene was completely aroused. Whether it was the fans or the players on the bench, they all gave Booker wonderful applause.

The Lakers are actually not bad here, but their steady and steady style combined with away games completely overwhelm the Suns in terms of momentum.

Halfway through the second quarter, the score difference was still 3 points. George was not satisfied with his performance, but Su Tian could see that George had tried his best.

"Paul, take a good rest and leave the rest to me." Su Tian stepped forward and patted George on the shoulder.

So Su Tian and Nong Mei came on the stage and replaced George.

At the same time, the Suns also brought Paul and others onto the court again.

After Paul came on the court, he directly took over the command of the team, and the team changed its style instantly.

Then Paul began to use his rich game experience and organizational skills to organize the team to move forward steadily.
